JP’s strip club has a buyer, now needs a lease

There’s still no lease on the building going up at 2412 Wisconsin, the former site of the burnt-out JP’s Night Club, according to the landlord. But James Charles, attorney for club owner Michael Papanicolas, says a new strip-club owner is lined up and ready to go, as soon as the lease is in place.

“We have a purchaser” for the business, including its valuable liquor license, Charles says. “They’ve signed a contract with us, but it’s contingent on them getting a new lease with the landlord. That hasn’t happened yet.” The JP’s license is scheduled for expiration or renewal on September 30.
